8 Inch Work Boots

Protective Safety footwear is an essential part of every work day to ensure that your feet stay healthy and safe. Today’s safety footwear does not just provide protection against work hazards but is also comfortable, flexible and more stylish looking. Work Boots are available in either 6 or 8-inch lengths. Today we are concentrating on the 8-inch work boot which is the less popular of the two.

Differences between an 8 Inch and a 6 Inch Work Boot

There are mainly only two differences between an 8 inch and a 6-inch work boot; the 6-inch work boot is lighter while the 8-inch work boot gives better ankle support.
An 8 inch work boot is a good choice for outdoor work if when you need to move through snow or sludge as it protects your legs by keeping water and debris out and gives you more warmth, though and 8 inch boot can be a bit heavier and allow for less free movement. An 8 inch work boot will usually have the added feature of being waterproof as well as in some brands having a protective steel toe. Some 8 inch work boots may be insulated to give you even better protection against colder weather conditions. The 6 inch and 8 inch work boot can come in both a lace-up or pull-on design.

Who will Wear an Eight Inch Work Boot

An 8 inch work boot is an excellent choice for any industrial worker in general. The most suited use for an 8 inch work boot though would be for cold weather or snow, working in mud or wet conditions, construction work and outdoor work. An 8inch insulated work boot would be the best choice for working in very cold weather conditions. While a non-insulated 8 inch work boot can be worn on construction sites to keep dust and debris out of your shoes or for outdoor work in wet or muddy conditions, in which case you will need a waterproof boot. An 8 inch work boot has the added advantage of providing ankle support so for anyone needing extra ankle support for an injury, condition or work that strains the ankles the 8 inch work boot will also make an excellent choice.
